If I am on the wrong list, please let me know - but I would like to
obtain a first hand product review on either or both of the
following "Forward Scan Depth Sounders" There is one built by a
company called interphase in several models and another by Echo Pilot.
Has anyone had first hand experience with these? They seem very
attractive, especially for those of us who cruise rivers and such where
the visibility underwater is low and the channel can be shallow and
narrow. I once used the echo pilot and absolutely loved the
functionality. However, the maintenance folks at the TMM base in
tortola (it was a charter boat) were very much less than impressed. I
was not able to find out if it was a function issue or perhaps
maintenance. Now, I am outfitting my own boat, and think hard on the
depth sounder as I WILL be doing rivers and narrower channels. Any one
have thoughts?
